  • Patent number: 11605394
    Abstract: A method for improving speech signal intelligibility is performed at a device. A speech signal is obtained. A correspondence between the speech signal and a respective user group among different user groups having distinct voice characteristics is identified. Pre-encoding signal augmentation is performed on the speech signal with a respective pre-augmentation filtering coefficient that corresponds to the respective user group to obtain a group-specific pre-augmented speech signal. The device encodes the pre-augmented speech signal for subsequent transmission through the voice communication channel. An encoded version of the pre-augmented speech signal has reduced loss of signal quality as compared to an encoded version of the speech signal that is obtained without the pre-encoding signal augmentation.
